I think I'm about to get an earfull

Got home last night at 10:30 after dropping Bobo off at his house, iced down the fish, showered and hit the sack. It was a long day of 12 hours at shop starting at 3:30 AM. As I was chugging Folgers this morning trying to erase the fog in my head, the wife tells me she and her girlfriend have decided the wife needs to join crappie.com. She thinks it's a great idea. So the subject came up about a handle for her. While I totally agree joining this forum would be good for her because this sight can teach her more about slabbin than I will ever be able to and she'll be involved in something that I totally enjoy, my mouth bout hit the floor when she suggested her handle be......Fishinwidow! I guess she thinks I'm going too often? (I didn't think you could do that).

Long story short, I'm taking both of them Sunday morning. If I can get her bit maybe she will consider changing her handle, and mind frame, and I'll stay out of the doghouse. What do you think, mini vacation for her (or us), or do I bite the bullet, lay low and bide my time til spawn? Which starts when, about mid March?:biggrin

If mama ain't happy no one is happy! Low profile,speak softly, then when she catches a slab suggest she be called Mrs Slab Master :cheers2

I'm partial to Pappas' Crappie Mamma.

Make them well aware of Rule #1, Bait your own hooks, Rule #2, No Screaming on the water, Rule #3 tie on your own baits. and most importantly, Rule #4, Sticking your rod tip in my face results in you being tossed overboard.

Hmmm, this may beyond the flowers and chocolates stage and into the "some serious shoes and purse stage". But I'm sure you can handle it! :) how about fishinghoney for her handle? Or, a new boat with a large sun bathing deck might help!

I believe that that there must be Rules: If were in a mess of fish and the bite is hectic, rule #1, wife must remove her fish from her hooks, #2 Refer to rule #1:highfive
I vote for crappie Mama ( That is if I get to vote):twocents

You're single aren't you Buck?:Rofl

Personally I think you should invest in a Guided Crappie Trip so she could experience a day full if fun and catching fish instead of just sitting and watching a bobber. You might very well be money ahead. JUST SAYIN. LOL

Gotta agree Mark. When the weather warms that's what my plan is. Problem is I have to scratch when it itches in the meantime! LOL

Sounds like you've been hitting the gas too hard. Got to pump the brakes every now and then. I'd be fishing everyday if I could but I can't. Gots to take care of the home front 1st.

I like Mark's idea!!! Matter of fact, I have been thinking of doing the same thing.

A lot of big talk about the rules that momma is going to have to follow! As long as the mommas don't get on here and read all this stuff we will be alright. If they do read all this stuff, trying to catch crappie will be least of our problems. At my house I make all the rules; that momma lets me.

Like they told John Wayne--" ALOT OF BIG TALK FOR A ONE EYED FAT MAN'

Agreed. I can do whatever I want, no questions asked..... As long as she lets me. LOL

It won't matter. If you're in trouble, then you're in trouble. Widow sounds like you're in a lot of trouble. As some here know, I work at several hospitals. An interesting medical study was posted last week.

25% of all women take medication for mental illness. A scary statistic right? Means that 75% of all women are walking around untreated.

Might be be best to go hide for a bit. Chances are you're in the same boat as the rest of us. The 75% group!

I'm going to agree 100% with this medical study, just as long as my Mrs. is not a member of this site, then I reserve the right to change my story.

My wife's handle would be Bigfishmamma. I catch more most of the time, but she gets the big one at least nine out of ten times. But she'll never have a handle as she thinks my posting is the biggest waste of time possible. :(

Just make sure it don't get shortened to Big Mamma or you gonna be needing some medical assistance. :Rofl

And don't EVER, under ANY circumstance, as much as you love her, call her a heifer. Ask her how I know!

Morning fishing evening shopping and dinner. Alls good

she'll never have a handle as she thinks my posting is the biggest waste of time possible. :([/QUOTE]
.....another thing we have in common BigSky..........
